1978 olds cutlass salon why must you press down on gas pedal to start and also smell gas?

Usually when your pressing down the gas pedal to start, at this point your carburetor has already flooded your engine with excessive gasoline that it does not need, so when you press the gas pedal all the way down to open the the carburetor ports all the way it allows the engine to get rid of the excess gas and the fumes until the right mixture or gas and air are obtained. The smell of gas is caused either by a leaky gasket within the carburetor or possibly a incorrect adjustment of the air/ fuel adjustment screws. I would definitely take the vehicle in to have it checked out because under its present condition, your engine could backfire and cause a engine fire very easily.
